This topic provides a brief description of the data sources and MIB objects specified as search filters when configuring ASM Search Variables.
Node/Alias (ctAlias)
This MIB defines objects used to discover end-systems per port and to map end-system addresses to the layer 2 address of the port. Select this MIB to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses when the devices in your network support the Node/Alias (ctAlias) MIB.
IpRouteTable
An entity's IP Routing table. This selection provides the ability to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses.
Select this MIB when your network includes devices that do not support Node/Alias (ctAlias MIB). Include your routers in your search scope when this MIB is selected.
This selection can be un-checked when your network is comprised only of devices that support Node/Alias, thus improving search performance.
IpCIDRRouteTable
The IP CIDR Route Table replaces the now obsolete ipRoute Table current in MIB-I and MIB-II and the IP Forwarding Table . It adds knowledge of the autonomous system of the next hop, multiple next hops, and policy routing, and Classless Inter-Domain Routing. Select this MIB when your network includes devices that do not support Node/Alias (ctAlias MIB). Include your routers in your search scope when this MIB is selected.
This selection can be un-checked when your network is comprised only of devices that support Node/Alias, thus improving search performance.
ipNetToMedia
IP Address Translation table used for mapping from IP addresses to physical addresses. This table is read whenever an entry is found by IP Route or IP CIDR Route searches, regardless of whether you select the IPNetToMedia. Selecting the IPNetToMedia checkbox only affects whether or not the entire IPNetToMedia table is read. Select this MIB when your network includes devices that do not support Node/Alias (ctAlias MIB). Include your routers in your search scope when this MIB is selected.
This selection can be un-checked when your network is comprised only of devices that support Node/Alias, thus improving search performance.
Dot1dTpFdb
This table contains information about unicast entries for which the bridge has forwarding and/or filtering information. This information is used by the transparent bridging function in determining how to propagate a received frame. Select this MIB to resolve MAC addresses to a port.
Dot1qTpFdb
This table contains information about unicast entries for which the device has forwarding and/or filtering information. This information is used by the transparent bridging function in determining how to propagate a received frame. Select this MIB to resolve MAC addresses to a port.
Dot1qVLAN Current
This table contains current configuration information for each VLAN currently configured into the device by (local or network) management, or dynamically created as a result of GVRP requests received. Select this MIB to resolve MAC addresses to a port.
802.1XAuthentication (PAE)
Port Access Entity module for managing IEEE 802.1X
Enterasys 802.1X Extensions
Supplements/used in connection with the standard IEEE 802.1x MIB. It provides a convenient way to retrieve authentication status for supplicants living on shared-media ports that use station-based access control. (Here, a MAC address is a much more natural table index than a port or interface number.)
Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
Enterasys Port Web Authentication (PWA)
Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
Enterasys MAC Locking
Provides configuration and status objects pertaining to per port MAC Locking. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
Enterasys MAC Authentication
Used for authentication using source MAC addresses received in traffic on ports under control of MAC-authentication. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
Enterasys Multiple Authentication
Used for authentication using multiple authentication mechanisms. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
Enterasys IGMP MIB
Extends the Standard IGMP MIB for configuration of IGMP on Enterasys devices. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
IGMP Standard
MIB module for IGMP Management, it contains an IGMP Interface Table with one row for each interface on which IGMP is enabled and an IGMP Cache Table with one row for each IP multicast group for which there are members on a particular interface. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
RMON addressMap
MAC address to network address bindings discovered by the probe and shows the interface on which they were last seen. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
RMON host table
Contains entries for each address discovered on a particular interface. Each entry contains statistical data about that host. This table is indexed by the MAC address of the host, through which a random access may be achieved. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
Enterasys Multiple User 802.1X
This MIB contains information pertaining to Multi-User IEEE 802.1X authentication and supplements the standard IEEE 802.1X-2001 MIB. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
Enterasys Convergence End Point
This table contains information for each of the Convergence End Points discovered or detected on your network. Select this MIB to find other occurrences of an IP address or MAC address within your search scope. The values returned by searching this MIB are often duplicates of the values returned from other MIBs, so selecting this MIB is usually not necessary.
